Claudia Carls

In her childhood, Claudia Carls alternately declared that she wanted to become a writer or an artist until this conflict was finally resolved with her decision to study book illustration. After graduating from high school, she put this plan into action at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences with a degree in Illustration and Communication Design. As a graduate designer, she lives and works in Hamburg and designs picture books, children and ya literature, non-fiction books, and posters. She created the original illustrations for the Woodwalkers book series by Katja Brandis.
